About Christine
LCSW in Missouri with six years of clinical experience, Christine Dicus focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and relationship concerns. She helps people manage grief, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, and life changes using Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing. Christine works with issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment, first responder stress, process and sex addictions, women’s issues, and young adult challenges.
Christine uses a practical, team-based approach in sessions. She begins by listening to what matters most and then co-creates goals with the person. Sessions often start weekly so a clear plan can be built. Methods draw on CBT to identify thinking patterns, client-centered techniques to reflect strengths, and motivational interviewing to support change.
Her background includes work in residential treatment, correctional settings, and office-based care. That range shaped her comfort with different life circumstances and sparked a willingness to try out-of-the-box strategies when standard approaches fall short. She has experience addressing trauma, addiction, anxiety, and depression across these settings.
Christine emphasizes scheduling that fits the person’s life. She works with people to find routine visit times and to include self-care tasks between sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted as needs shift.
Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session format options before booking, since formats are arranged through the intake process.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s perspective and building on their strengths. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. CBT sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and is useful for addictions and commitment to new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. Christine will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is reviewed.
Confirm session formats before booking, since current options are set during intake. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity during life changes and to schedule evenings or weekends that suit a person’s routine.
